Posted on 1/5/2021 by Roger Marks

IATA posted the first Addendum to the 62^nd Edition Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) on January 1. Compliance with the 62^nd Ed. IATA DGR is mandatory as of January 1, 2021.

Changes to the DGR shipping requirements in this Addendum include:

An added exception for hand sanitizer in Section 2.5 "Dangerous Goods in Operator's Property."
An added exception for COVID-19 vaccines containing GMOs or GMMOs in Section 3.9.2.5.

The first Addendum also updates various state and operator variations, including the addition of a new variation for Federal Express, FX-10, which reads:

FX-10 Shipments containing accessible dangerous goods (ADG) and inaccessible dangerous goods (IDG) that are dropped off at staffed FedEx U.S. locations must be processed using a FedEx or third-party automation system, not paper airbills or air waybills.

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

As always, Lion never disappoints

This was the 1st instructor that has made the topic actually enjoyable and easy to follow and understand. Far better than the "other" training providers our company has attended!

These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.

Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.

John Hutchinson

Senior EHS Engineer

The instructor was great, explaining complex topics in terms that were easily understandable and answering questions clearly and thoroughly.

My experience with Lion classes has always been good. Lion Technology always covers the EPA requirements I must follow.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

Oscar Fisher

EHS Manager

Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!

Paul Harbison

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.
